Cornhole anyone?

I've been working on a few Father's Day gifts. Here is one, it is a desk size corn hole. Oh my gosh, it's so fun.

On this project I used Baltic Birch. I did sand the board and primed it before cutting. Next time I will also paint the board before cutting.


I painted the pieces with some blue paint I had on hand, used gold leaf foil around the hole opening and MasterTouch Gold paint where it is engraved.



The laser file I purchased did come with the cuts for the tossers to be cut from wood, but my husband asked if I would make some fabric bag tossers. I couldn't tell him no, so I made some and they are adorable. I didn't have dried corn on hand, but my husband remembered we had popcorn seeds from the popcorn maker. - bonus that they were expired, so there was no guilt using them. 😅 


This cornhole is approx. 10.75 x 8. I think it is going to be a great addition to his office. 


I am working on adding a few corn holes in my shop, so keep a look out.   

Thanks for swinging by, and I hope you have a good day. 😊

Can I laser on glass?

Conversation with myself:  Can I laser on glass? Well, I don't know, I haven't tried.  😂  It was my first attempt at lasering on glass. Next time I think I will make some minor setting adjustments. Depending on the design, I may want the image to be a bit clearer/sharper. But, since this design is a bit cute, spooky and going to be used as Halloween decor in our home, it works. The black roses were made using my laser, wood with acrylic paint. I know this is short but I hope it was sweet.  I'm not sure where October went, but I wish you and yours a fun and safe Halloween. Thank you for stopping by and,  Until next time, Maddie

Gold Leafing a Boutonniere

  It was my first time to do a boutonniere and I thought I would try adding some gold leaf foil to a few roses and see how they turned out. They came out very nice, I thought.  Some Supplies used:    Add the adhesive where you want. You can put as much or little as you'd like.  I was going for a bit of a drip on one of them.  I played around adding some gold leaf foil to a few leaves.  It was a big rose and a rather heavy one at that, so I decided to just do the one and leave the other rose out. It would have been too bulky. Using some floral tape, floral wire and some hot glue I put the boutonniere together. For a soft more vintage look I added some vintage lace I had on hand and finished it off with some ribbon.   This boutonniere was a hit and it was a fun piece to do.  Thanks for popping in, Maddie

Are we Sleighin' or Slayin' ?

I hope you are having a great start to this new year! As I was putting up Christmas I thought about how I had not shown this cute wood round sign. I love that it can go up in October and stay up through Christmas. This sign gives me all the Hallmark feelings.  I've been contemplating making a few of these to list. 🤔 I will get back to you on that.  Speaking of Christmas - Anyone feel like it just zoomed right by at a high rate of speed this year? I totally did.   Materials used: Wood, acrylic paint, gold, green and red foil paper and some rope and ribbon for hanging. Everything cut on my laser.   Thank you for swingin' by. Until next time, Maddie
